About Us
Raynna Hammon, Founder, president & Bereavement Doula
I am the founder of Footprints On My Heart because of the lack of resources in my community for infant loss. My husband and I have suffered from a blighted ovum, stillbirth of our daughter Sophia Louise, miscarriages, and the neonatal loss of our son Jaxon Thomas. Together we have survived it all to share our story and help break the silence of infant loss. My husband and I founded Footprints On My Heart to not only help families of infant loss but to keep our son, Jaxon Thomas's Legacy alive!
DONALD HAMMON JR., CO-FOUNDER
I am the co-founder of footprints on my heart because I support my wife. It is something she is passionate about. We suffered the loss of our stillborn daughter Sophia, miscarriages, and the loss of our son Jaxon Thomas. I feel that Footprints On My Heart will help fill in the gaps that families don't think of while suffering form a infant loss.
Ashley Morrison, Vice President, PHOTOGRAPHER, & BEREAVEMENT DOULA
I've watched my friends go through the horrible loss of a baby and they weren't able to get pictures of their babies before they were placed elsewhere. I'd love nothing more than to help a family get the life long memories of photos to forever cherish their babies they wont see again. A picture is worth 1000 words and if I'm able to help bless a family I am more than willing.

When I heard about footprints On My Heart at a networking event, I immediately knew why I had recently taken and completed a class on grant writing. I support Footprints On My Heart because God led me to take the class and meet Raynna. I am pleased to work on our website, organize our documents, apply for grants, and support FOMH at our events.
LYDIA SULECKI, Board chair & BEREAVEMENT DOULA
I am so thankful to be part of Footprints On My heart! I am no stranger to loss. My husband and I have lost 4 babies within the first 5 years of our marriage. I am thankful for FOMH and I could not imagine going through my last loss without them.
Victoria Petellat, Board member
After losing my son Sidney, Footprints On My Heart showed me that there are still things to do after his loss. Raynna has helped me with so much that it has brought me to want to help others. I feel that my artistic talents could help other loss families as they move through their grieving process.
